DIOCESAN INTERESTS.

AS our readers are aware since the ap-
pointment of Rev. Father NJ. J. Casey to
the Catholic pastorate Of Wichita that
church's interests have been enlarged and
multiplied over and again, until all OF this
section of the state as erected into diocese
with Wichita as the See city. and the church
authorities at Rome named bishop for the
new work Since Father Cassey's advent
here, two churches have been built in the
city and sisters academy, which latter is
now in successful work. In addition the
church here has acquired very valuable
properties in connection with proposed
future buildings. We believe it is not too
much to say that to Father Cassey's indon-
initable work and energies, much Of all that
we have mentioned Is due, and his friends
here and elsewhere, and also the friends of
his church will be glad to learn that he has
been appointed by the archbishop Of st.
Louis the administrator for the Wichita do
cese. AS we understand it, he will have
direct charge and oversight Of church real
ties throughout the diocese. That he Is
most worthy man for the responsibility, none
who know will doubt, and thu EAGLE con-
graduates Father Casey and all conc erned
on the fact OF his appointment.

IMPORTANT TOWNS.
Utica. Horace and Towner the Coming Cities OF
Western Kansas.

In an interview today with J. V. Moffett,
president OF the Memphis & Denver Town
Co., informs US that the largest town along
the main line Of the Missouri Pacific railroad
from Holbrook to Pueblo will be Utica,
which is the end Of a division and junction
of two roads. This town although but a
few weeks old has in course Of erection over
twenty buildings and bids fair to be city
inside of one year Of fifteen hundred or two
thousand people. Mr.. M. says that for the
next thirty days they will sell lots at present
marked prices and at the expiration of that
time will advance 20 per cent.
Horace, the next promising city, is located
in the center of Greeley county, about one
hundred miles west of Utica. This will IN
doubtedly be the county seat of Horace,
and investors Of money in real estate
will not loose money in railroad or county
seat towns. Towner, the most lively city of
them all, is situated on the Kansas and Colo
RADIO state lines, and but one week old, is
moving with rapid strides. Prohibition on
the Kansas side and anti-prohibition on the
Colorado side, seems to give all greater con-
fidence in her future. Having the benefits of
the laws of both states it is bound to make
an immense town. There are twenty-fi
towns along the line of this road controlled
by the Memphis & Denver Town company,
but these three are guaranteed BY the COM
pany to be large and growing towns. In
vestors will do well to look over the ground
before investing and put your money where
1t is sure to double inside Of six months.

BATTALION READY,

The meeting Of the city council tomorrow
evening promises to be an unusually interest
ing one. The electric light question will
doubtless come up with the strength of two
weeks accommodating energy. The question
seems to be an Interpretation of the contracts
with both electric light companies. Both
companies have been collecting at the rate
OF 500 per annum per light, while late
verson by some members of the city council
places the lights at ss3. 80 per annum. With
the Schuyler company the city, according to
the last rate has paid near $1,000 more than
is due them. According to the former con-
struction the city owes the Schuyler Co. near
$780,
The Tompson- Houston company is sur
rounded by very different set Of circum-
stances. The present company operating
that system near year ago bought the plant
from Mr.. j. d. Hill, who in the sale put the
lights at 500 per annum. They claim that
if the city decides not to pay that amount
Mr.. Hill, according to the sale, will be COM
PEELED to pay it, so they, from
a financial standpoint, are rot
in any great state of excitement
They think Mr.. Hill will be called upon TO
fight it out with the city council.
II the city council decides to pay accord
ing to the new construc' ON Of the contract
It is thought by many nat there are quite
hopeful prospects for couple of suits, the
Schuyler company engaging the city in one
bout, and Mr.. j. D. Hill In the second T In
conversation with one of the
council yesterday he thought there
would be no suit, as In his
mind it was very plain that the city had not
agreed TO pay over $50 Is per annum The
mistake he thought could be attributed to a |
Of the city clerk.
Another councilman thought the city
ought to pay the highe price, as that Is |
much cheaper than most cities pay for the |

THE VANISHING NAN.

| There was an set given az the Garfield yes
teriay afternoon that was not exactly down
on the program.
few days ago q dashing young man az
peared and quite extensively advertised, by
means OF tickets given to the scholars Of the
city schools the New York Comedy and
Speciality Company's Matinee st Garfield
Opera House, Saturday afternoon, October
22od-h The tickets convey the information
that ''this ticket and 10 cents viii admit one
scholar
The array of artists were: Mr. 81. V Wat
kins the wonderful ventriloquist, Mr.. W. v.
Williams formerly Of the Emma Abbott
opera company, the eminent comedian Mr..
Fred Warren and others. Besides all or this
great array, then were to be given away a
large number of rare and costly presents.
Yesterday afternoon the young man ap-
peared at the door, and as the crowd
commenced coming was kept busy
taking in the paste boards and
dimes. When about $50 persons were in
the house he went back Ito see about raising
the curtain" After waiting for fifteen min
utes for the event to tale place several per-
sons went upon the stage TO look for the man.
ager of this great combins ton but he was
nowhere TO be found. He had quietly slipped
out the back door. mounted
horse hitched at the foot of the steps
and rode away. The crowd remained for
few minutes and left the hall feeling consid-
erably sold. A warrant was issued for the
smart young mans arrest, but as yet moth
ing has been heard of him.
There Is no blame attached to the manage
ment OF the house. The rascal, who gave
his name as Wright, was refused admission
by Mr.. Neff He afterwards went to Mr..
Downing and by representing himself as the
advance agent Of a superior company which
was compelled to ''lay OVER in the city on
Saturday obtained lease OF the house upon
these representations.
He left some linen and a few legerdemain
contrivances. In fact in his conversation
with Mr.. Neff he stated ''sleight Of hand" to
be his forte; he claimed too that he could
mesmerize and cause persons to vanish at his
will. He evidently was himself an adept at
the latter performance.

1t will be remembered that some days ago
the Associated Press agent at Garden City
sent out the statement that Mr.. John Nc
Dowell, Of Greedy township, this county, had
been arrested for assaulting a woman In that
city. The statement it seems was untrae az

having been at Garden City some days be-
fore. When he read the statement he came
to this city and engaged the services OF At

complaint which gave circulation 10 the re-
port came from Mrs Augusta Miller newly

When the witness Of the state bad
been heard the case was dismissed. The
court determined that there was 10 reason
